The sweet smell of hOmE ~.~


Sentimental, random feelings and thoughts, sadness, sense of belonging, relief, cursings, gung-ho-ness, jiwang, don-da hei aseous?, not yet drunk, but acting drunk!

Reminiscing about the past 9 months in the west-north sector of planet earth seems so surreal. Things have revolved so fast; it felt that it was just yesterday when i arrived at the airport, leaving the comfort of home, friends and relatives which have been a mainstay of my previous chapter of life . Putting everything on stake for a complete switch to a full-fledged university experience. Leaving on a jet plane to a land far, far away where the dragon and Giggs reign supreme. And i remembered it was just a few weeks back then when i was hankering for the exams to be over... now that the results are out (though still awaiting the verdict for a further 2, barring any mishaps), 2nd year beckons; the wait to get home which seemed an eternity is now exactly a week away only! And today is D-day where i shall be shifting out of J-10-1 (always seem to land the 1st room though) , fronted by a 3 tiered shelf, a real, proper closet of my own to store my junk (never had that in my home) , flanked by a right-hand-sided window overlooking some wonderful greenery, sprinkled with loads of chicks during summertime! Though home here is bliss, but going home is indeed shang-ri-la! Wowweeee! 1st thing i would do is to have loads of roti canais! TV all day long! Cheap cinemas! Mamak-king all night out! And running , running, running like there's no other running day! No more drinking for awhile though :P
Will definitely get bored once the euphoria sets in ( im giving myself 3 weeks the most), but there's just hell of things to catch up! And the break is gonna be the time when you reflect on what you have achieved so far, what you have been taught but never seems to imprint itself permanently, how wonderful silver linings may still shine through however dark a cloud may be, what you hope could have been but never would be, how surprising sometimes one could really let loose and be a child one never remembered all over again, the time where celebrations and palpatations are all part and parcel of the full 1st year medical school experience, how the thrill of shopping and obtaining the best deal (which leads to further best deals) can really take one around on a mini witchhunt with severe financial implications, and how a guy can actually accumulate junk even more than the ladies! Heck, can't believe that i'm here in the 1st place! Never in my faintest thoughts that i would chance on an adventure so far away just for the sake of education. And that was 1st year! Still hoping to come through in a single piece, eventually emerging as a man-in-white with the stethoscope who straightens the wellbeing of others! Hmm, and start earning $ $ ^^.

Till 2nd year, hopefully :P
Cheers to all who made this happen!
